Who would James Bond be without his cool gadgets? Sure, he would still be a great spy with a license to kill, but would there be 22 movies about the man?

Bond fans remember the old films when Q would introduce some new gadgets with each new installment. While Q may be missing in the latest films, Bond still has some slick tools. While even some of Bond’s adversaries dabble in gadgetry, this list will be strictly MI6.

With “Quantum of Solace” opening today, it’s a great time to look back at some of the past Bond films and the gadgets he uses to dispose of henchmen, save himself and ultimately save the world.

Bond

it will be easy to make spoofs based on Quantum of Solace… every where he goes he breaks glass and he can’t get a gallon of milk from the store without it turning into a chase scene

Ha! That’s funny. It has been since 2006 since they’ve done “Scary Movie 4”. “Scary Movie 5” with some “Quantum of Solace” rips, anyone?
